Work-in-Progress: The New Billiards Room

Two months from opening the new club at 550 Montgomery and the Billiards Room is starting to take shape. Nestled in the corner of the 10th floor, with great southern views, the room features a Brunswick Treviso table sitting atop a Kashan Persian rug loaned to the club by Peter Pap Oriental Rugs, proper Players Chairs, and a wet bar in the corner.

The room will still get a proper billiards lamp, a VIZIO TV, a case for the trophies for winners of our various billiards tourneys, and curiosities by the dozens for the millwork.

The club soft opens on Wednesday, December 12th (Frank Sinatra’s birthday).

Ham And A Dram

Last Thursday, Wingtip club members were treated to an impromptu duet between two heavyweights of the craft ham scene: strips of glistening Jamon Iberico and drams of Iberico Mezcal de Pechuga.

My Day at Cypress Point

Golf Digest ranks the Top 100 Courses in the World, and #2, repeatedly, is Cypress Point in Carmel, California (Augusta is #3 if that’s any indication). It’s private, with a very small membership, and golf geeks can argue over whether it is the toughest course to get onto in the country, or 2nd, or 3rd, but no one would argue that it’s really, really hard to get an invitation. A few months ago, I was invited to play, and a vacation 18 months overdue was postponed to accommodate the opportunity.
